Lactobac

Lactobac capsules provide 44.5 billion organisms, or colony forming units (CFU), per dose, making it one of the most powerful probiotic supplements available. When swift recolonisation and implantation of gut flora is required (in conditions associated with the long term use of antibiotics and the contraceptive pill especially) the higher dose of Lactobac capsules make it a potent clinical ally. Each Lactobac capsule contains Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Bifidobacterium longum, two of the most important probiotic species for the human intestinal microecology. Taking Lactobac capsules at the same time as antibiotics will give the best chance of minimising damage to naturally occurring microflora.

Studies have shown that Lactobac is the most reliable probiotic combination for immediate bowel recolonisation.
